Obesity Linked to Rapid Cartilage Loss
Saturday, July 18, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Maintaining the integrity of your joint cartilage is vital to your quality of life, ability to stay fit, participation in physical activities, and general anti-aging. While the extra weight from obesity places understandable stress on cartilage, a new study indicates the problem is more significant and that obesity increases the risk for rapid cartilage loss beyond the issue of the mechanical pressure of the extra weight. Obesity is a Risk Factor for Swine FluFriday, July 17, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The Center for Disease Control is alarmed that obesity may make it much more difficult to fight off the swine flu. Of ten severely ill swine flu patients at a Michigan Hospital, nine of them were obese. None of these patients have fully recovered. Sunday, July 12, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) It is an interesting day when researchers can analyze the bacterial types in the mouth and if one known as Selenomanas noxia is present in an amount greater than 1.05%, then there is a 98% likelihood the person is overweight. An Emerging Fiber Breakthrough for Weight ManagementFriday, July 10, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) It is always an exciting day when something entirely new about metabolism begins to emerge. Of course it will be decades before innovation is agreed upon by the tortoise-moving FDA, medical profession, and other “health authorities” who have done nothing but watch as their “solutions” have either allowed or directly contributed to a societal epidemic of obesity. Butyric Acid Improves Fat-Burning MetabolismMonday, July 06, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Feeding mice butyric acid improved their ability to burn fat on a high fat diet. The butyric acid improved their muscle function, health of brown adipose tissue, and various gene signals involved with fatty acid metabolism. Butyric acid also prevented insulin resistance from happening in these over-fed mice. Whey Protein at Breakfast Reduces AppetiteMonday, June 22, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study confirms that having whey protein as part of your breakfast helps to reduce your appetite at lunch. The study compared the appetite effects of whey to soy protein and casein protein – and whey was superior. Whey Protein Enhances Fat MetabolismSaturday, June 20, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study shows that whey protein, compared to fish, casein, and gluten proteins had a far superior ability to help reduce the amount of fat in the blood following a high fat meal. Vitamin D Status Linked to Dieting SuccessSunday, June 14, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) An interesting new study finds that a person’s vitamin D status entering a diet predicts the likelihood of success. Milk Thistle Extract Inhibits Fat Cell FormationTuesday, June 09, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Milk thistle is a popular herb used for liver support and assisting natural detoxification processes. It is also known to work by reducing inflammation, including the key inflammatory gene signal NF-kappaB. A new study shows that it inhibits multiple pathways that otherwise change baby fat cells into new adult fat cells. Tocotrienols Stop New Fat Cells from FormingSunday, June 07, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) One of the great problems involved with being overweight is the extreme ease with which new fat cells form. A new study shows that alpha and gamma tocotrienol can help prevent baby fat cells from turning into adult fat cells. Grape Seed Extract Restores Insulin SensitivitySaturday, June 06, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A powerful new study shows that grape seed extract turns back on gene signals that help insulin receptors work properly, a major discovery for any person concerned with their weight or diabetes. Gut Problems Associated with Fatty LiverSaturday, May 30, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Normally we think of adverse accumulation of fat in the liver being caused by excess alcohol and over-eating. A new study demonstrates for the first time that an overgrowth of imbalanced bacteria and/or a “leaky gut” are associated with the severity of a build up of undesirable fat in the liver – a key marker of disease risk and progression into the metabolic syndrome. Overweight People Need Extra Antioxidants for ExerciseWednesday, May 27, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study of overweight adolescent girls shows that exercise increases free radical stress due to the inefficient utilization of extra oxygen during the exercise process. It is likely that this finding applies to anyone who is overweight. The finding is significant because overweight people are routinely told to exercise more. However, doing so in the presence of a lack of antioxidants will increase tissue damage and consequent inflammation, resulting in a poor response to exercise that is unlikely to produce fitness or weight loss. Excess Appetite Causes Abdominal FatTuesday, May 26, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Researchers have discovered that your stomach’s appetite signal, ghrelin, can also turn on gene signals that result in accumulation of stomach fat. The study means that rather than doing crunches to flatten your stomach spend more time getting your appetite under control and your stomach is likely to shrink. Mangosteen Reduces Fat Cell Inflammation and Insulin ResistanceThursday, May 21, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new mangosteen study shows that the xanthone antioxidants are able to regulate important gene signals in fat cells, reducing adverse inflammation and insulin resistance (by stabilizing adiponectin levels). Stress Leads to Adolescent ObesitySunday, May 17, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The greater the amount of stress the more likely a child is to be overweight. Managing stress and solving problems are key life skills at any age and it is never to young to learn. Children unable to manage stress well may “stress eat” and may not feel like exercising, factors that really work against healthy metabolism. Women, Weight Gain, and Cardio RiskThursday, May 14, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study shows that as women gain weight they are more likely than men to have a higher level of the cardiovascular inflammatory risk factor known as C Reactive Protein (CRP). Vitamin D Improves Cardiovascular Markers During Weight LossWednesday, May 13, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) During a 12 month weight loss program individuals taking 3,320 IU of vitamin D per day (83 µg/d) significantly improved various parameters indicating better cardiovascular health. What is the Leptin Diet?Monday, May 11, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The Leptin Diet® teaches you to maximize your ability to get energy from the food you eat – meaning you can eat less food and feel great. It is the first diet based on the science of leptin, and it is an astoundingly simple and common sense way to eat. It is not a fad diet or calorie manipulation – it is simply an eating lifestyle that makes all the difference in the world. Friendly Flora Reduces Abdominal Obesity Following PregnancyFriday, May 08, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The balance of power within your digestive tract has a considerable impact on your metabolism. A new study of pregnant women shows that taking probiotics, the friendly flora that need to be in your gut in adequate amounts, significantly reduced the risk for abdominal obesity following pregnancy. Dietary Fat Helps You RememberWednesday, May 06, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Scientists provide proof that the consumption of dietary fat containing oleic acid (high in olive oil) triggers the release in your small intestine of a compound called oleoylethanolamide (OEA). OEA sends hunger-curbing messages to your brain, which can help to reduce appetite so you want to eat less food. On top of that, OEA helps form memories, especially those associated with emotions. Moderate Aerobics Shrinks Belly FatFriday, April 24, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Inflammation coming from fat sets the stage for major health problems. A new study shows that three moderate aerobic exercise sessions per week can lower inflammation, reduce liver stagnation of fat, and shrink belly fat. Restless Legs Linked to ObesityThursday, April 23, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) As your weight elevates so does your risk for restless legs syndrome. Restless legs then creates an uncomfortable sleep problem, making a person tired the next day and craving more food – a nasty catch 22. Chromium Helps Stop CravingsSunday, April 19, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Chromium is a key mineral that assists insulin to transport blood sugar into your cells. A new study in overweight women found that chromium reduced food intake, hunger levels, and fat cravings – while tending to help decrease body weight. Obesity Helps Cause Periodontal DiseaseWednesday, April 15, 2009 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study following 36,903 men for 16 years has shown that obesity significantly increases the risk for periodontal disease.
